DNA molecule. Computer artwork of part of a strand of DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid). Here,the atoms are depicted as spheres and are colour-coded: carbon (blue),oxygen (red),hydrogen (yellow),nitrogen (green) and phosphorous (orange). DNA is the principal molecule for carrying genetic information in all cellular organisms. It consists of two strands that wind around each other in a double helix. This structure allows DNA to exactly replicate itself during cell division. The strands have sugar phosphate backbones which are connected by four types of molecules known as bases. The sequence of these bases makes up the genetic code which is unique to every individual | |
